Joe Biden: Trump presidency will go down as 'single exception in American history'
Source: Entertainment Weekly
During his appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Monday, the former veep was asked what sort of legacy he thinks Trumps presidency will leave behind, and he responded with a firm denunciation.
I think it will God willing it will go down as the single exception in American history, Biden said, drawing a hearty round of cheers and applause. I really mean it.
Addressing the crowd, Biden spoke of the Trump administration as a threat to the stability of the republic. How many of you are now worried about this new phony nationalism and its us against them? he asked. How many are worried about this populism that is designed to essentially undermine the essence of the Bill of Rights, which is [that] theres certain inalienable rights that nobody, no matter what the majority is, they cannot overrule? I mean, I just think theres an attack on the system. I think people are worried.
Biden added, It goes beyond President Trump, in my view, and he lamented Hillary Clintons election loss. Look, but for 74,500 votes or thereabouts, we wouldnt be having this conversation, he said. Wed have a good president. Wed have a president who understands the role of the presidency. She would have been somebody who would, in fact, weave that fabric.

I have a feeling we'll be seeing some tweets from the Moron-in-Chief about this, as well as some condemnation from the Breitbart sewer.
